So that was 2012? What happened?
By timebandit •
If you were asked to do a 5 minute talk on the events of 2012 to a group of people that had just returned from a year off the planet?
What would be your headline items?
What would be your fillers?
And what would be your "and finally" story? (This is one that is normally amusing to cheer everyone up at the end of the news)
What do you think your final QL post of 2012 will be?

You know... I am racking my brain here trying to think of what my headlines would be. There is only one story that comes to mind over and over again.
Here in Qatar Villaggio is the only story of any significance that I can remember. Off the top of my head (without researching) the Olympics is the only story I can remember from the UK (my home country). And world wide nothing springs to mind except the stories that are current. There has been disaster and tragedy all over the place, but already I am struggling to remember what occurred in 2012 without having to figure out if it was this year or last year. Oh wait a minuet, I just remembered the US president got re-elected.
Fillers.... Are you kidding me! I can't remember headlines yet alone fillers.
And finally... Tomorrow the world is going to end, so cheer up it can't get any worse can it?
